Androids in the Enlightenment

In this volume, Adelheid Voskuhl investigates two automata - both depicting piano-playing women. These automata not oly play music, but also move their heads, eyes, and torsos to mimic a sentimental body technique of the 18th century: musicians were expected to generate sentiments in themselves while playing, then communicate them to the audience through bodily motions.
